Deja Vu Love

Again with the Pool

Sitting up in my bed looking around I recollect myself. It felt so real and really good. I do appear to be in the past still which gives me a sense of relief. I decided to check my phone to see if any messages where there. I had three messages one from Trenton, Kyle, and Leon. I feel popular this morning but my chest pounds from anxiety. Leon hasn’t spoken to me since I broke up with him. So I check his message first.

He says, “can I see you today?” I’m surprised he wants to but I can’t see him today I already have plans with Trenton and Kyle. I type my reply.

“I’m sorry I have plans today.” I switch over to Kyle’s message and read what it says.

“Morning kitten, sleep well?” As I’m reading and thinking of what to say I head to the bathroom to get ready for the day. I type my reply.

“I certainly did.” It’s not the most clever of responses but I’m still waking up. Now to check Trenton’s message.

“Are you ready for a fun day?” I sure hope it’s fun and a part of me is okay if it turns out like my dream. I type my reply back.

“Of course I am, getting ready right now and should be heading over soon.” I set my phone down and hop into the shower. I have to make sure I’m all shaved up just in case they want to explore my body.

Hopping out of the shower I check my phone and see four messages. One from Trenton and Kyle and two from Leon. I decide to check Kyle’s first. His message says, “did you have dreams about me kitten?” My face turns red. I did but it involved both Kyle and Trenton.

I decide to reply, “maybe” with a winking face. I pause for a moment to finish getting my bathing suit on and brush my hair. I really enjoy that my hair is naturally curly and doesn’t take much prep because it will dry just right. Once complete, I pick up my phone again and check Trenton’s message.

“How about we meet at my house and walk over together?” I reply confirming that’s a good idea and I will be there in about 40 minutes. I finish putting on my sports t-shirt and shorts before checking to see what Leon said. My mind begins a battle with itself where my past mindset appears to still have feelings and my future mindset could care less. I take a deep breath to calm myself and begin to check his messages.

“Okay, I understand.” Is his first message. His second message is a bit longer. “I really miss you. I know we are not together anymore but I really thought about what you said and you were right. I really want to change and have you come back to me.” That message put my stomach in knots. My older mindset sympathizes with my younger mindset. Since the breakup is so recent and he was my first real boyfriend. That came with other “first” experiences leaving a special place in my heart. I decide to not reply right now and switch over to Kyle.

He is my future husband after all. My future mindset hungers for him and wants to make him all mine. I know this is a crucial period of time before he starts heading down a path with multiple lady opportunities. He is a womanizer for sure but I know deep down he is an intense romantic. Once you get past those layers and see the rawness you can’t return. His message says, “great! I can’t wait for you to tell me all about it.” Eek, I can’t share the story because one it is embarrassing and two he wasn’t the only one in it. I ponder for a moment to develop a witty response.

I reply, “maybe, if you are lucky.” Feeling quite proud of my response I set my phone down to gather my things and load them into my drawstring bag. I have extra clothes, money, sunscreen, and my towel. My mom is still sleeping from staying up watching her show. So I leave her be and remain quiet while I grab her keys to go. At least my dream got that right so far.

I hop in the car and check my phone one last time before driving. Kyle sent a reply, “oh, I like it when you tease me.” He is very clever with his responses. I decide to take a play out of his book and messaged my reply.

“We’ll see,” with a smiley face. I set my phone down and begin my drive to Trenton’s. I turn up the rock music that is playing on a CD that was left in the car to drown out a few of my thoughts. It’s weird to think that in ten years I’ll have a car without a CD player. It’s too bad I can’t remember any winning lotto numbers or I would totally work on becoming rich.

I finally arrive to Trenton’s house and see them both chilling outside. Kyle appeared to be shooting a basketball and Trenton was keeping him company. They both stop and step aside once they see me arrive. I pull into the driveway and they both approach me. I quickly get out of the car with my drawstring bag. Trenton says, “are you ready to head over?”

I reply, “certainly, let’s go.” We begin walking over to the pool. It’s fairly quiet for the majority of the way but it was interrupted by my phone buzzing in my bag. I stop for a moment to check it. It was Leon again. I tell Kyle and Trenton to go ahead into the pool I’ll be there in a moment. Kyle expresses concern but I assured him everything is fine just checking my phone before we start swimming. I read the message Leon sent me.

“Well if you are interested my brother and I will be heading to the pool later if you want to join.” He is not giving up on trying to see me, I give him kudos on that. I surely hope later means after we leave. I really don’t want to run into him at the pool.

I decided not to reply and headed into the pool area. It was a typical rectangular pool with the shallow end up to 3ft and the deep end up to 8ft. There is only one family present on the shallow side of the pool. It appears it is a mother and her three young children. Kyle was sitting in a lounge chair appearing to be waiting on me on the deep side of the pool area. Trenton already had his shirt off standing at the edge of the pool texting on his phone.

I walked over to Kyle and sat down on a lounge chair next to him. He had a look of concern on his well chiseled face with a light stubble present. I could see his hazel eyes clearly with the bright sun. I assured him everything was fine and asked him why he hasn’t gotten in the pool. He responded, he was waiting to put on a show for me. I giggled and looked away.

Trenton slowly walked over while texting on his phone. I prompted to see if he was okay. He had a conflicted expression on his face but quickly changed into a smile. I wonder if it’s his ex-girlfriend messing with him. I remember the relationship he was in was very toxic and she would often go in cycles to mess with him. He said, “well I was just waiting for you before jumping in. Are you ready to get in now?”

I shook my head yes and started placing my stuff on the lounge chair. He responded, “that’s fantastic, let’s go.” He placed his phone down and headed towards the pool. Once he was close enough he jumped in. Kyle watched and got close to me while he took off his shirt. As Trenton jumped into the pool he snuck in some intimate touches and a kiss on my neck. This made my heart want to jump out of my chest and body crave more.

Trenton came up for air and cleared his eyes. I quickly decided to join him and did a small jump into the pool. After I came up for air and cleared my eyes I saw Kyle using the ladder to get in the pool. Trenton speaks up and said it was a great day for a swim. I agreed and suggested the idea of taking turns to see who can hold their breathe the longest under water. Kyle and Trenton agreed. Kyle offered for Trenton to go first. He was reluctant to go first but did accept.

After he went under water, I quickly snuck in a mini make out session with Kyle. I struggled to pull away but I knew it wasn’t going to be much longer until Trenton would be back up. Kyle stopped kissing me abruptly and moved away to the other side of the pool. Trenton popped up from under the water. After wiping the water out of his eyes he said he counted 63 seconds and asked if we agreed. I shook my head yes and Kyle said that sounds about right. He offered to go next and picked a spot to hold the ladder to help him stay under the water.

Once he went under the water Trenton slowly approached me. He asked if I was having fun as he got closer. I replied that I was having fun. Although, he was starting to make me nervous as he got really close. His expression changed to a sly grin and he said, “well, is there anything I can do to make it even more fun?” I opened my mouth to begin to say something but nothing came out. He let out a minor chuckle and starting going in for a kiss. I felt my body freeze and my heart to begin banging out of my chest.

Trenton got really close but stopped once he heard Kyle come up for air. Once Kyle cleared the water out of his eyes he said he counted 70 seconds. Trenton replied indicating he got a similar number. I was still frozen but I could tell Kyle could read I was anxious about something. So Kyle tried to pull me out of it by reminding me it was my turn. I prepared for a moment with some deep breath’s before going under. This was always one of my favorite activities and I had a lot of practice.

I went under the water holding my breathe the best I could without pinching my nose. Which, I quickly regretted because I wasn’t great at keeping the water out. I quickly gave up after counting about 40 seconds. I came up and wiped the pool water out of my eyes. I announced I counted 40 seconds and Kyle shook his head in agreement. “Well, shoot! That means Kyle wins.” Trenton said with a grumble.

He has a sneaky smile on his face and asks what he wins as he looks at me. “Well, what would you like?” I say, looking back at him. He thinks for a moment. I begin to try to guess in my head what he is going to say but I’m quickly distracted when I noticed Leon and his twin brother walked into the pool area. Kyle suddenly recognized something was wrong with me and asked what happened.

“I think we should go if possible.” I stammered and started to head out of the pool. Trenton must have noticed Leon as well and agreed with my request. Kyle followed along and we all grabbed our things to leave. We walked towards Trenton’s house quietly but my head and heart were fighting back and forth.

Kyle broke the silence and asked what happened and inquired why we had to leave so quickly. Trenton responded and indicated my ex came to the pool, which was a fairly recent change. I just shook my head in agreement and included that I was very sorry for ruining our fun. Trenton’s phone buzzed so he stopped for a moment to check it. He reported Chloe wasn’t coming because she decided she was going to hang with her mom instead.

Kyle spoke up and said, “well I still haven’t said what I want my prize for winning to be yet.” Trenton and I looked at him waiting to hear what he decided. “I want to go for a car ride and listen to music.” Trenton agreed with that plan because he has made some mixed CDs perfect for driving around. I agreed and indicated I wanted to change first before we did anything.

We arrived at Trenton’s house and I quickly went to the restroom first to change. I could hear my phone buzzing like crazy but I avoided it for as long as possible. I could see the notifications building as it lit up in my bag. I decided to run the water while I changed to keep myself calm. Handling these emotions were incredibly stressful and I didn’t remember it being this difficult.

Instead I hop in the shower for a quick rinse off. The smell of the chlorine wasn’t smelling the greatest and I still hoped that I could get some private time with Kyle. I finished getting ready and took a deep breath before checking my phone. There were ten different text message notifications. One was from Chloe telling me that she was sorry she couldn’t hang but her mom was having a hard time and didn’t want to leave her. I replied and told her it was no problem and there’s always next weekend.

Trenton sent two messages asking if I was okay and if there was anything he could do to help. I let him know that I would be alright and there wasn’t anything in particular he could do to assist me. Kyle sent three messages expressing the same sentiment but with an added bonus of saying I shouldn’t worry anymore because I was all his now. It did make me want to go hug him but I couldn’t think of a great reply. I was distracted by the four messages from Leon.

He started with some passive aggressive comments about being busy with other guys but it quickly turned into him begging for my return and how he can look past anything I have done with other guys. The messages just irritated me further so I didn’t respond to them. I went out to the living room area and saw both Trenton and Kyle were sitting on the couch waiting.

Trenton quickly stood up waving his CDs and announced he was ready to go. I agreed and we headed to Trenton’s car. I volunteered to sit in the back but Trenton insisted I sat in the front. I agreed only if Kyle and I took turns. Trenton smiled and agreed with the request.

We all got into the vehicle and I glanced at Kyle in the backseat. He appeared to stare at his phone a little disappointed. I quickly grab my phone and remember I needed to reply to him. So I messaged that I appreciated him worrying about me and agreed that I’m all his.
